Quilting progress

So I finally got some much needed help and advice on quilting thanks to my dad's girlfriend. She is a wiz when it comes to quilting and has been doing it for lots of years. I don't think I will be able to finish the Christmas table topper this year unfortunatly. It just takes a lot of skill and practice that I just don't have down yet. I am determined to finish it by next year though! On the positive side I did some great work on my first ever baby quilt today! Learned how to start piecing it together and sewing it nicely on my new sewing machine! Here is what I got done today!

Table Topper materials and pattern....

So I got out my table topper directions and the fabric and I have to say I am a little intimidated. I didn't realize I would have to cut all the pieces before I sew them... Oh well guess I got my work cut out for me! Here is a look of the very very beginning of my Christmas Table Topper.

What it hopefully will look like when its done!

Holiday weekend fun!

Well its Friday! We are planning on going to the Parade of Lights downtown Denver as a family and my son is bringing one of his friends from school. We are also gonna decorate the house this weekend! I am super excited to decorate. We will be getting our tree on Wednesday though. Also going to be baking cookies with one of my son's other friends. In the mist of all this holiday fun I am going to try to work on my quilts that I have :) I want to start working on the Christmas table topper that I got yesterday and we shall see if I get it done before Christmas HAHA.

New projects

Its that time of year again! Tis the season for holiday shopping! I am working on a few projects for my family right now, but also going to be trying my hand at quilting soon! My dad bought me a new sewing machine for my birthday/Christmas present this year and I am excited to try it out.

I have made my son a new pillow for his bed for my first project with it and it came out pretty well!

My next project is a baby quilt for my shop. I have the quilt squares and the batting and now I just have to put it together HAHA Easier said then done, but here is what I have so far.
